Stephen Curry could be back on the floor very soon.
The return that Golden State Warriors fans have been hoping for may come as soon as Saturday’s Game 1 of the Warriors’ Western Conference Semifinals series with the New Orleans Pelicans, according to ESPN’s Chris Haynes.
Stephen Curry went through his first full practice today and is listed as questionable for Game 1 on Saturday against New Orleans.

This was Curry’s first full practice since suffering a sprained MCL on March 23 against the Atlanta Hawks.
From Haynes:
Kerr said the practice session was important for Curry in his rehabilitation process, and he acknowledged Curry “looked good.”
“I think what we have to do is see how his body responds the rest of the day,” Kerr said. “[We’ll] put him through another practice tomorrow. I think he needs to string together a few good days. But, yeah, it was very positive.”
Curry is expected to be officially re-evaluated Friday. The Warriors struggled to score points at times without Curry in their first-round series against the San Antonio Spurs, especially late in the series, posting just 90 points in a Game 4 loss and 99 points in a Game 5 win.
